Young Entrepreneurs – Profit vs Pitfalls
What are the ‘Young Entrepreneurs – Profit vs Pitfalls‘ series?
Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be an entrepreneur.
Ok, as a kid I probably was not familiar with the word entrepreneur. I knew, however, I wanted to, own a business, be self-employed, run my own show.
Growing up my entrepreneur dreams included owning and running a restaurant, dude ranch, B&B, hair salon, catalog company (kind of glad that one didn’t pan out) and an array of clothing stores.
As a kid I was constantly trying to think up small business opportunities. When I was 6, I told my mom & dad I was thinking about getting up early, collecting our neighbor’s newspapers and reselling our neighbors their missing papers. My parents discouraged me from this risky venture. I did take their advice on that one.
The point is I have always been fascinated by the fact anyone can start with an idea, a solution to a problem or just a dream and build a business from it!
That is why I am beginning a new series of articles and podcasts called Young Entrepreneurs: Profit Vs Pitfalls!
Young Entrepreneurs Today
The Younger Generations are thinking about being entrepreneurs in a completely different way than previous generations.
This series is intended to examine what it takes to be a young business owner today. I am asking young entrepreneurs what worked and didn’t work while building their businesses.
Most importantly, I want to know, what do we need to learn from these risk takers!
Some of my guests will include owners of brick-and-mortar stores while other are operating completely online, and some a mish mash of both.
I will be talking to folks who are reinventing what it means to be “your own boss.”
If you are a Millennial, Gen Zer or even Generation Alpha and you have started your own business, I would love to hear from you!
If you are taking on a conventional industry, steeped in tradition, and transforming the way they do business, I want to hear your story.
Until then, I am so excited to listen and learn from the younger generations who are redefining what it means to be an Entrepreneur.
I am Meagan Johnson, a professional speaker, author, and generational humorist. See you soon on the multi-generational trail!

Understanding Generational Differences with Doryn Wallach
I was interviewed on a podcast hosted by Doryn Wallach for women in their late 30s and 40s seeking to navigate life’s challenges and make the most of it.
Have you ever wondered why your mind is so different from other generations?
How can you manage to understand and communicate within the relationships that you have in your life – with your children, your parents, coworkers, employers and so on?
That is exactly what I discussed with Doryn on her podcast episode about Understanding Generational Differences.
Enjoy!
